There's not a single country that doesn't have problems. But being the leader of the Western world, the United States of America is held to a high standard and its issues are often viewed through a magnifying glass, both internally and internationally. And the subreddit 'A Normal Day In America' is trying to bring some humor to these discussions.

Created in 2014, it now has 33.1k members, and according to the community's 'About' section, it focuses on things like toddlers in tiaras, guns in supermarkets, $100k hospital bills, obese babies, and other "everyday occurrences" in the US.

That's incredibly well done but it's sad that the richest country in the world can't give a little boy a walker.

This reminds me of the 1920s recession in Australia. You could take and slaughter a sheep for food as long as you left the skin behind for farmers to get paid back for their loss from the government. Sometimes it's just fair enough...

I've given birth 4 times, it cost a grand total of........0. Although I did get my husband to buy the midwife a gift each time, just some chocolates, wine and flowers as a thank you gift because I'm that soft twat that buys everyone presents so I guess you could say each baby cost me around £30

Is this for f*****g real? They have actually charged her for skin to skin contact after the baby is born! The American healthcare system is far, far, FAR worse than I ever thought possible! I mean, over 13 thousand dollars just to give birth! How the hell does anyone in America afford to have children!

Having a baby in my country is free. Even if you have to have a c-section. Even if baby needs emergency care or is premature. Even if you have to have medical care yourself. It costs nothing. I'm sure this is the same in many other developed countries. Except USA. USA. Land of the free. Where nothing is free, not even death.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS insist on itemized billing. Half the c**p they charge for can be eliminated or reduced. They charge for stuff because so many people don't question it, or just pay the bill or don't know they can refute charges.

Unfortunately that amount is cheap. I just saw a post not long ago, where the skin to skin from the father, was in the THOUSANDS. Yes thousands. That's why I put it in capitals ! The mother detailed the invoice. How can someone be charged thousands of dollars just to hold your newborn.

This is actually probably something they can sue over since the implication is the hospital kidnapped and ransomed the child.

I think I know where the cost comes from. Regardless of who pays for it and what we think of it. I had a regular c-section and a gentle one (google it, never expected it to be as much better as it was). But the thing is, someone needs to keep an eye on the mother while she is being stitched up, someone needs to keep an eye on the baby. A gentle cesarean is more expensive as it takes much more people in the O.R. So these $ 40 probably had something to do with keeping an eye on the patients.

Nonsense. It is your child, you should ever pay for holding your own child. The hospitals just make up things to put on the bill.

A Christian school held one of these where I lived. A mother, an RN, took her immunocompromised 14 year old daughter (the girl was in remussion from cancer). The girl was in the ICU within 2 weeks with COVID. Her RN mother refused to let the doctors intubate her for treatment. The girl was dead within a month. How is this not murder?
